Jesus in the Clouds

You have shown Me the path of life. At Your right hand are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16 v 11. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through Me. John 14 v 6. This a talking point painting that started with a visit to Paradise Valley in New Zealands Southern Alps. The surrounding vastness and grandeur helped put lifes journey in perspective and encouraged me to reflect on human smallness and transience. Back in my studio I saw additional possibilities. The river (like death) has to be crossed, but it is not the end. There is a path that leads beyond. It becomes an invitation that rises above the here and now. It goes through the person of the Lord (see if you can find His hands) to the realms of Heaven and Eternity.
